Peace of mind: Addressing mental health at work

Description
Employee wellbeing is crucial for productivity and organisational success, yet many companies fall short in providing adequate support services. Studies indicate that 1 in 5 employees suffer from mental health issues, with a significant impact on job performance and retention. Additionally, caregivers, often women, face unique challenges balancing work and personal responsibilities, with 60% reporting that caregiving duties affect their work. LGBTQI+ employees also encounter specific stressors, with 46% feeling the need to hide their identity at work, leading to decreased engagement. This session will delve into the importance of comprehensive support services, including mental health resources and caregiving support, to enhance productivity and inclusivity. Attendees will gain insights into creating a workplace culture that fosters wellbeing for all employees, driving both individual and organisational growth.

Conversation with youth: Owning your responsibility, owning your power

Description
Youth civic engagement is a powerful force for shaping the future of our society. It underscores the vital importance of individuals actively participating in their communities, not only to find their place but to exert meaningful influence. This responsibility, while deeply personal, is also a collective one. It is essential for fostering a society where every voice contributes to communal growth and development. For young people, particularly young women, engaging in civic activities is a demonstration of leadership and accountability. By voicing their expectations and taking action, they play a crucial role in building a better future for everyone.
